The microcontroller-based concept was chosen because I wanted to scale the sensor system later to suit other applications. Here is the diagram of my Arduino infrared close proximity sensor. As you can ...

but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone had a pretty good idea, to ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core ...

However, a new inductive sensor has arrived that could change the face of proximity sensing. In terms of common applications, one of the most prevalent is the pushbutton. When the button is ...
